Exclusive: Creeping Death Productions Goes Wyldeballs At The Upcoming Calgary Horror Con

Regina, Saskatchewan artist and owner of Creeping Death Productions, JC WYLDE shows his love for original ’80s rubber toys with his detailed WYLDEBALLS. Made of thick squeezable latex rubber, these horror-themed softball-sized creations are fully durable. But before you think of taking one down to the sandlot, keep n mind they are fashioned as pieces of art intended for display.

This first run of five familiar horror characters include a zombified version of the King of Pop, Michael Jackson (as he looked in the music video Thriller), Baby Freddy Krueger (from A Nightmare on Elm Street 5: The Dream Child), Tiny Firefly from Rob Zombie’s House of 1000 Corpses, Sam (Trick’R’Treat) and a John Carpenter-themed alien from the 1980’s classic They Live.

Priced at $50 USD, these WYLDEBALLS will be on hand at the Creeping Death booth along with many other horror surprises for the upcoming Calgary Horror Con this June 2-3 at Calgary’s Clarion Hotel. JC has revealed that he is also hard at work on a larger “boss” Wyldeball that is sure to be a hit; any guesses on who the character may be? (I will reveal it here exclusively first when completed) 

Contact JC Wylde through his Facebook account for order information and availability.
